Because we offered him a five year one just a year ago.

You blatantly wrote that just after seeing the previous 'Chelsea fans read this forum for reference' post

You are right though, Chelsea 'fan' at my work is asking me if he thinks they'll buy Stones or not because Terry and Cahill aren't any good apparently... He didn't even know Zouma's name...

Look at all their online comments, it's all from AFRICANBLUEBLUD1998 discussing "them Hazard mad skillz" and doing photoshops of Ronaldo wearing the Chelsea shirt.

Or in short: blerts.

Never thought the day would come where this Everton board turns down £30m for a CB so kudos to them for that, if it's true.

Hopefully that's the end of it, but I wouldn't bet on it.

£34m and he's off unfortunately. Stones wants to go and the club will have to sell.

Although it may well be the case, I'm yet to see a direct quote from Stones saying that he wants to leave.

Shows how much of a joke journalism has become when national papers can write articles about events that have apparently happened without any evidence whatsoever.

What's changed?

Not saying your wrong, just don't think anything's changed at all.

Hes still got 4 years on the one now

It's a good point though, we should use all tools to secure him. Offering him a better contract to reflect his importance in the team could be one option.

Of course he hasn't publicly.

I obviously haven't got any evidence, just the same as everyone else has no evidence he's staying. All I'm saying is that we've sold our best players, Baines aside, continually for the best part of 25 years now. That probably won't change any time soon. We might hold out for more than 34, but it's looking very likely he's off from what I'm told. I'm not looking to wind anyone up here.

Why stop at 25 years? We've been selling star players all the way back to Tommy Lawton.

He is not for sale.

The club have said it.....the manager has said it.

The key issue is whether he himself wants to go to Chelsea (with all respect to Declan McManus).

In that case the club will probably move him on.

After the deadline day yes most certainly!

That was before being told by a very reliable source (not anyone on here/previously on here) that things have changed. But things might change again, and he might be wrong. I hope so.

EDIT: Nothing's actually "changed" as far as I'm aware, but the first post was just my "uneducated" opinion on it. The second is just relaying what I've heard.

It may be too late by then mate, at least have the chat now.

Yes Doug he was sold because of his marital affair in those days frowned upon - later after a bad move he stated Everton would have been better selling his wife!lol

It would be the biggest statement of intent they could make.

FIFA has a lot to answer for in creating a generation of absolute tools who think players are awful or brilliant based on some numbers beside their names.
